Global respiratory tumor mortality correlation study with economic level, 2000-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between global tracheobronchial lung cancer mortality rates and economic levels and assess the associated regional economic burden. Understanding these associations is crucial for global health resource allocation, informing cancer prevention and control strategies, and providing data to support the development of lung cancer and economic policies worldwide.

Methods

We analyzed respiratory cancer mortality data (International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes C33-C34) obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO) Mortality Database (2000-2019). Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated to describe the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics. Non-parametric comparisons (Wilcoxon rank-sum
